SPS requires 3 things in my opinion; good flow, exceptional water quality, and approrpriate lighting. I would strongly recommend that you start by figuring out a tank that would allow you to meet and maintain these three parameters before you add anything.
As for feeding SPS can, and do consume some food sources such as phytoplankton, or cyclopses. Most food or nutrients are produced via photosynthesis.
I recommend you visit the library and borrow Eric Borneman's Aquarium Corals book. I know its in the Edmonton system as I have borrowed it before. Its a great source for learning more about SPS, and their components. The more you read into SPS needs, the better you'll be able to ask questions about designing and impletmenting an appropriate system.
